Event Update For 2015-08-17

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.

A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

Note: If this fire breaks through the bottleneck between the two landfills then we may end up with a mini-Fukushima blowing radioactive smoke from right in the middle of the United States...

2015-08-17 - Recycling center destroyed by fire at Seabreeze Environmental Landfill in Freeport (Texas):
http://thefacts.com/free_share/article_70f48661-81b8-5272-abc1-cf09b4deac24.html

Quote: "Officials in several southern Brazoria County cities were left wondering what would happen to their recycling services Monday, as fire destroyed the center at the Seabreeze Environmental Landfill. 'It’s a 100 percent loss,' Brazoria County Fire Marshal Martin Vela said."

Note: More underground fires/explosions, more landfills and recycling centers burning. From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."
 

2015-08-17 - Oil refinery erupts in flame, possible explosion too, in coastal Shuaiba (Kuwait):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx-8zBt47NY

Quote: "A conflagration has engulfed Kuwait’s Shuaiba oil refinery, forcing the strategic facility to stop operations, according to the country's oil authorities. An official at state refiner Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) has confirmed that Monday's fire led to the total shutdown of the Shuaiba facility, but said the incident had no casualties."

Note: Shuaiba is just south of Kuwait City, which is also on the coast. Kuwait City has the distinction of being the first major metropolitan area in human history to have its residents told to shelter-in-place because of hydrogen sulfide, mentioned in the 2012-10-17 update...

2015-08-17 - Fish, snakes and turtles dying in Crutcho Creek, sulfur smell reported, in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma):
http://www.news9.com/story/29828539/se-okc-residents-concerned-with-foul-odor-coming-from-crutcho-creek

Quote: "She said last Thursday the creek had risen two feet, even though it had not rained recently. The water was a dark red, and smelled like sulfur. By Friday the smell was much worse, and dead fish, snakes and turtles were turning up in the creek, Perez said."

Quote: "A DEQ spokesperson told News 9 Tuesday one of their investigators found dead fish in the creek on Friday, but was unable to find the source of contamination, if there was any."

Note: Obviously there was contamination by something that smelled like sulfur so there's no 'if' about it. The DEQ people probably don't have hydrogen sulfide detectors so they'll never know when hydrogen sulfide is killing off life, so you can't exactly expect them to be competent at doing their job...

2015-08-17 - Deepwater oarfish washes up dead at Santa Catalina Island (California):
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/oarfish-678267-fish-macaulay.html

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is rising from the depths so deepwater fish are getting hit. Mostly we don't see their corpses but occasionally they do show up dead. Many deepwater whales have been found dead in recent times too, same reason - you swim in poisoned water and you're apt to die. That goes for people too...
